Jesse,
Indeed, the XHTML Table Module is what tables where to XHTML; CSS had no
other valid place to use it's table properties in (X)HTML.
However, CSS tables are applicable as of XHTML m12n; Anyone is free to
try and build his own semantically enhanced table tags while rendering
them with CSS.
My apologies if I lost the thread context.
